ELECTRONIC cigarettes have been banned from Blackburn University.

A national no-smoking ban came into force in July 2007, but the use of electronic cigarettes - largely applied by people trying to quit - falls outdoors the legislation.

Derek Heap, deputy director of estates at Blackburn University: ?The use of electronic cigarettes on our campus was meticulously thought of and debated by the university leadership team.
